Warnings

1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation.

2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4. This Woodworking Jointer is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a woodworking jointer, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5. Do not use this for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool Group disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this woodworking jointer. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

7. Before operating this woodworking jointer, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

11. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power source.

12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.

16. Make sure the woodworking jointer is firmly secured to the floor or bench before use.

17. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

18. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

19. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

20. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

21. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

23. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the spindle or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

24. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.

25. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

26. Maintain tools with care. Keep drill bits sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

27. Make sure the work piece is securely attached or clamped to the table. Never use your hand to hold the work piece.

28. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do not use your hands.

29. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.

30. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.

31. Before turning on machine, remove all extra equipment such as keys, wrenches, scrap, stock, and cleaning rags away from the machine.

32. Always use a hold-down or push block when surfacing stock less than 12" inches long, or 3 inches wide, or 3 inches thick.

33. Do not perform jointing operations on material shorter than 8", narrower than 3/4" or less than 1/4" thick.

34. The hands must never be closer than 3 inches to the cutterhead (see Figure).

35. Never apply pressure to stock directly over the cutterhead. This may result in the stock tipping into the cutterhead along with the operator's fingers. Position hands away from extreme ends of stock, and push through with a smooth, even motion. Never back workpiece toward the infeed table.

36. Do not make cuts deeper than 1/2" when rabbeting. On other cuts such as edging, surfacing, etc., depth of cut should not be over 1/8" to avoid overloading the machine and to minimize chance of kickback.

37. To avoid kickback, the grain must run in the same direction you are cutting. Before attempting to joint, or plane, each work piece must be carefully examined for stock condition and grain orientation.

38. When working with a swirl grain wood or burls, making it necessary to plane against the grain, use a lesser depth of cut and a slow rate of feed.

39. Move the hands in an alternate motion from back to front as the work continues through the cut. Never pass the hands directly over the cutter knife. As one hand approaches the knives remove it from the stock in an arc motion and place it back on the stock in a position beyond the cutter knife (Fig. 2).

40. At all times hold the stock firmly.

41. Do not use this jointer for other than it intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool Group disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage which may result from that use.

Electrical

Grounding Instructions

This jointer must be

grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

230 Volt Operation

Referring to Figure 10:

If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the following instructions must be followed:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2. The JET Woodworking Jointer motor has four numbered leads that are factory connected for 115V operation, as shown in (A). For 230V operation reconnect the leads as shown in (B).

3. The 115V attachment plug (C) supplied with the Woodworking Jointer must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation (D). Contact your local Authorized JET Service Center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The Woodworking Jointer must comply with all local and national codes after the 230-volt plug is installed.

4. The Woodworking Jointer with a 230-volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration as shown in (D). No adapter is available nor should be used with the 230-volt plug.

115 Volt Operation

Referring to Figure 9:

As received from the factory, your Woodworking Jointer is ready to run at 115-volt operation. This Woodworking Jointer, when wired for 115 volt, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one illustrated in (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter shown in (B), may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
